Overview

Revised and expanded throughout, this reference emphasizes developments in the identification, utilization and analysis of flavonoids for the prevention of disease and maintenance of good health. It examines the processes involved in the absorption, metabolism, distribution and excretion of these compounds and the impact of biotransformation on flavonoid function.
